Taylor, 88 Clair A. Turner, 65 Council approves Meigs Water-Sewer takeover Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — Middleport Village Council at its Monday night meeting approved and adopted by a split vote an ordinance to move forward on a proposal long under consideration whereby Middleport will enter into an agreement with the Meigs County Commissioners to administer the Meigs County Water and Sewer District. The ordinance was given a first reading at the March 12 Council meeting. At Monday night’s meeting, it was presented for a second reading and then following a lengthy discussion, it was proposed that to speed up the process toward solving Rutland’s problem, a third reading and adoption be presented as an emergency measure. While Council member Penny Burge expressed concern and suggested allowing more time for study, a motion was made to move forward declaring it as an emergency measure, and the vote was taken. Council members Rae Moore, Sandy Brown, Craig Wehrung and Emerson Heighton voted in favor of the emergency third reading and adoption of the ordinance while Council members Burge and Roger Manley voted “no” on treating the issue as an emergency measure. In the discussion Clerk/Treasurer Susan Baker reminded members that the matter has been under consideration for many months and needs resolved for the benefit of the village and the Meigs County Commissioners. The ordinance authorizes the mayor and president of Council to sign documents on behalf of the village as they pertain to the contractual agreement prepared by Council and its solicitor and the Meigs County prosecuting attorney on behalf of the Commissioners. The next step to be taken is for the Commissioners to act on the proposed contract which details the obligations of the Commissioners and the responsibilities of the village of Middleport for See TAKEOVER ‌| 5 Syracuse fiscal officer charged with theft in office Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com Children scrambled over the fields gathering up Easter eggs. Photos by Charlene Hoeflich | Daily Sentinel Easter egg hunt a hit Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Hundreds of children turned out Saturday afternoon for the annual Easter egg hunt sponsored by the Pomeroy Merchants Association held on the Meigs Enrichment Foundation’s ball field near Meigs High School. The Easter bunny (Aaron Dunham) was there to greet the children and Soul Harvest Church youth, representing the area Prayer Task Force, presented a playlet telling the story of Christ from birth to death on the cross. Hotdogs were served to the children attending and each one finding one of the more than 2500 eggs hidden on the field qualified for a prize. The field was divided into three sections for the hunt — preschoolers, kindergarten through second grade, and third, fourth and fifth graders. Large Easter baskets were presented to the finders of the golden eggs, one of which was hidden in each section. The winners were Brogan Wamsley preschool, Timberlyn Templeton, kindergarten through second grade, and Chasity Jones, the older group. Again this year Jenni Dunham was chairman, with Dan Short as president of the Merchants Association as co-chairman.

Genealogical Society hears about tombstone preservation Sentinel Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Jaye Russell of Medina, a specialist in restoration of old cemeteries, was the speaker at recent meeting of the Meigs County Genealogical Society held at the Meigs County Historical Society. Currently the Ohio Genealogical Society district vice president, Russell gave tips on cleaning monuments, stressing the need to be careful not to damage a stone. He discouraged power washing as it drives vegetable matter more deeply into the stone.He also discouraged flour being used in order to better read a stone noting that it acts as a food for vegetable matter to grow on the stone, and vinegar and bleach, he said they should never be used. If shaving cream is used to read a stone, be careful of the acidity, as highly acidic creams are damaging. Brushes of any kind—especially wire brushes—are totally damaging to stones, he added. There are liquids sold now that are quite good to clean stones, he noted, and then offered to return and do a full presentation on preserving cemeteries, which would be beneficial to township trustees. Russell grew up in Pomeroy and shared his ancestral families include Roush, Will, Spencer, Young, Reed, Hecox, Hysell, McElhinney and Autherson as well as two difSee SOCIETY |‌ 5 SYRACUSE — Charges have been filed against the now former Village of Syracuse Fiscal Officer related to misconduct while serving in that position. Megan Drummer-Doczi, 32, of Syracuse, was arrested on Monday by officers with the Syracuse Police Department. Drummer-Doczi was employed as the Village of Syracuse Fiscal Officer and the Board of Public Affairs (BPA) Clerk since September 2012. The lead investigator in the case, Syracuse Police Chief Garry Freed, states that Drummer-Doczi has been charged with a third degree felony count of theft in office. She was arraigned on Monday afternoon in Meigs County Court and released on a personal recognizance bond. Syracuse Mayor Eric Cunningham placed DrummerDoczi on unpaid administrative leave on March 21. During an emergency meeting of the Syracuse Village Council and BPA on Monday evening, Cunningham requested that Drummer-Doczi be terminated from her positions. Both council and the BPA voted unanimously to support the termination. Village Council, upon the suggestion of the mayor and support of the BPA, passed a resolution to request a special audit of all village funds during Drummer-Doczi’s term of service. According to a prepared media release, the investigation is ongoing. The amount allegedly taken by Drummer-Doczi will not be known until after the audit is completed, according to Freed. New grant awarded for Meigs water project Sentinel Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com WASHINGTON, D.C. — A Meigs County community recently received new resources to update water infrastructure and improve service. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) announced that the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) awarded a grant to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency( EPA)/ Tupper Plains Chester Water District to construct a new lagoon in order to expand and improve the wastewater treatment system which will serve nearly 200 households and 32 businesses. “Ohio’s rural communities and small towns face a heavy burden when financing infrastructure projects,” Brown said. “This improvement project will provide residents and businesses with a modern water system that improves water quality and encourages investment in Tupper Plains.” The Tupper Plains Regional Sewer District treats wastewater in a series of two lagoons. Recently, however, the wastewater has been dangerously close to overflowing. The new lagoon will protect the Tupper Plains community against sewage overflow. In addition to ARC’s $250,000 grant, state and local sources will provide an additional $350,000 to complete the renovation project. Brown is working to help communities around Ohio struggling to afford costly but necessary renovations to sewer systems. Last year, he introduced the Clean Water Affordability Act to help communities make renovations to outdated sewer systems, while improving water quality and keeping rates affordable for residents and small business. 60401846 �Wednesday, March 27, 2013 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 Meigs Local Briefs Meigs County Community Calendar Traffic Advisory MEIGS COUNTY — State Route 143, located just 0.4 miles south of Athens County line, will be restricted through March 29 to allow for a slip repair project.

Obama gives Secret Service its first female director WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Tuesday named veteran Secret Service agent Julia Pierson as the agency’s first female director, signaling his desire to change the culture at the male-dominated service, which has been marred by scandal. Pierson, who most recently served as the agency’s chief of staff, will take over from Mark Sullivan, who announced his retirement last month. The agency faced intense criticism during Sullivan’s tenure for a prostitution scandal during preparations for Obama’s trip to Cartagena, Colombia, last year. The incident raised questions within the agency — as well as at the White House and on Capitol Hill — about the culture, particularly during foreign travel. In addition to protecting the president, the Secret Service also investigates financial crimes. “Over her 30 years of experience with the Secret Service, Julia has consistently exemplified the spirit and dedication the men and women of the service demonstrate every day,” Obama said in a statement announcing Pierson’s appointment, which does not require Senate confirmation. At the Secret Service, Pierson has served as deputy assistant director of the office of protective operations, assistant director of human resources and training and chief of staff. She started in 1983 as a special agent in Miami. Before that, she was a police officer in Orlando, Fla. “Julia is eminently qualified to lead the agency that not only safeguards Americans at major events and secures our financial system, but also protects our leaders and our first families, including my own,” Obama said. “Julia has had an exemplary career, and I know these experiences will guide her as she takes on this new challenge to lead the impressive men and women of this important agency.” Thirteen Secret Service employees were caught up in last year’s prostitution scandal. After a night of heavy partying in the Caribbean resort city of Cartagena, the employees brought women, including prostitutes, to the hotel where they were staying. The incident became public after one agent refused to pay a prostitute and the pair argued about payment in a hotel hallway. �Wednesday, March 27, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com W.Va. municipal gun laws likely to remain CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia Senate President Jeffrey Kessler says a bill that would eliminate municipal gun restrictions in four cities is unlikely to proceed. The bill passed the House with overwhelming support and recent rallies have urged its passage in the Senate. It would create uniform state gun laws and nullify more restrictive gun ordinances in Charleston, South Charleston, Dunbar and Martinsburg. The bill has been assigned to the Senate Committee on Government Organization. Committee Chairman Herb Snyder said he has received approximately 10 threatening phone calls and three emails related to the bill’s passage. “They said, ‘We’re going to drive by your house,’ ” the Jefferson County Democrat told The Associated Press last week. “Another one was, ‘If the bill doesn’t pass, you won’t go home from Charleston.’ It’s quite threatening.” Kessler said Tuesday that those threats were part of the reason for stalling the bill. “Not on my watch, not ever,” Kessler said of the threats, calling them way out of line and overzealous. The West Virginia Citizens De- Administrators armed in W. Colo. school district DENVER (AP) — As lawmakers across the country debate arming teachers and administrators to prevent another deadly school shooting, one Colorado school district has voted to let its superintendent and a high school principal carry concealed semi-automatic pistols on campus — a move some say sidesteps laws meant to keep schools gun-free. The seven-member school board in southwestern Colorado’s rural Dolores County voted unanimously in February to allow Ty Gray, principal of Dove Creek High School, and Superintendent Bruce Hankins to double as security officers, who under state law are allowed to carry guns on elementary, middle and high school campuses. Hankins and Gray — both lifelong hunters — will receive an additional $1 per year for the extra responsibility after completing a concealed-carry course and receiving permits from the county sheriff before they can carry a gun on school grounds. “We won’t live our lives in fear, but we realize the world we live in today and need to do everything in our power to keep kids safe,” Hankins told The Cortez Journal after the vote. “If somebody comes into the building making threats or shooting, I’m not going to hide behind my desk. I’d prefer to have more than a chair (as a weapon).” The superintendent of District RE2J, which serves about 275 students, declined an Associated Press request to be interviewed by phone or in person, though he did respond to emailed questions. “In most school shootings, they are over in just a few minutes,” Hankins wrote. “We will have immediate response capability.” The Feb. 6 school board resolution argued that because of an average police response time of 40 minutes — and a limited budget — “it is necessary to rely upon existing staff to fulfill the function of the needed security personnel.” Authorities say in the spring of 2009, a 16-year-old student plotted to kill Dove Creek High School’s principal, then ambush the county sheriff, take his weapon and continue shooting. Sheriff’s deputies recovered seven rifles, including .22-caliber weapons, shotguns and an M1 carbine, at the boy’s Dove Creek home, and three more weapons when the teen and a 19-year-old friend were arrested in New Mexico. Authorities made the arrests after one of the teens told his family about the plot, which was delayed because the school was on spring break. The 19-year-old was not charged, and the district attorney’s office does not release information on cases involving juveniles. “They had stolen the guns and it just happened that the day they planned we were not in session. So, it is real to our community,” Hankins said. But some say the school board’s decision is merely a semantic argument that skirts state laws prohibiting guns at schools. “I think it really does subvert the intention of the law, and I don’t think that is ever a good thing,” said Laura Cutilletta, a senior staff attorney for the San Francisco-based Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. “I think, unfortunately, this would probably make them less safe by introducing a gun into school.” Cutilletta added that school administrators already are “swamped” by their primary duties and don’t have the experience of a security guard or a police officer. “They’re not used to being in that type of stressful situation, not the type of stress that a police officer faces,” she said. “The likelihood of causing more death and injury is through the roof. Even police officers have a hard time hitting the target during a stressful situation, so how can we expect a superintendent or principal to do it?” The school board’s resolution theoretically could allow any employee with an extra-duty security officer contract to bring a gun to school. It came a little more than a week after a Colorado Senate committee rejected a guns-in-schools bill that would have allowed local districts to decide whether their employees could carry concealed weapons on campus. The decision, strongly backed by the National Rifle Association, is part of a larger debate sparked by the mass shootings in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater and at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper signed several bills into law last week, including requiring background checks for private and online gun sales and banning ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. Figures compiled by the National Conference of State Legislatures indicate that most states ban guns on campus, unless they are carried by peace officers, security guards or by employees who have written permission from the schools superintendent. But since the Sandy Hook shooting, lawmakers in almost two dozen states have introduced legislation that would make it easier for school employees or volunteers to carry guns on campus. South Dakota’s Republican governor, Dennis Daugaard, signed a bill March 8 allowing districts to permit teachers and other personnel to serve as “sentinels” and carry firearms on campus. The law takes effect July 1. Legislatures in a handful of other states, including Georgia, New Hampshire and Kansas, are working on measures similar to South Dakota’s. fense League, a pro-gun lobbying group, held rallies on Saturday in Martinsburg and Charleston. The rallies were aimed at Snyder and Senate Judiciary Chairman Corey Palumbo. In Charleston, rally-goers held signs calling Palumbo a tyrant and comparing gun control regulations with Hitler’s policies. Kessler also says that the affected cities are resisting the bill. He said that if people want those city laws overturned, they should work at the local level to do that. Keith Morgan, president of the WVCDL, said in an email message that his group would campaign against Kessler for the next three years, until he is up for re-election. “We already have people from his district gravitating to the effort,” Morgan said. “He’s going to be very familiar with us by 2016.” Sentencing postponed in Ohio Craigslist killings AKRON, Ohio (AP) — The father of one of three men lured by Craigslist job offers and murdered had Tuesday’s sentencing date for the killer etched in his mind: 16 months to the day his son’s body was identified. Jack Kern, father of Timothy Kern, 47, and relatives of other victims of Richard Beasley, 53, crowded a courtroom Tuesday to hear whether he must face execution, but the case was delayed by an attorney’s illness. Beasley, wearing a red and white striped jail outfit, clutching a cane and sitting in a wheelchair he uses because of back pain, kept his chin on his chest as he was wheeled into court after a 90-minute delay to hear the postponement. Family members, briefed in private about the delay by prosecutors, are expected to return for the sentencing rescheduled for April 4. Last week the jury that convicted Beasley of murder recommended that he be executed. Judge Lynne Callahan has the option of reducing the sentence to life in prison. Co-defendant Brogan Rafferty, who was 16 at the time of the crimes in 2011, was sentenced by the same judge last year to life without parole. Because of his age, he wasn’t eligible for the death penalty. One of the victims was killed near Akron, and the others were shot at a southeast Ohio farm during bogus job interviews. The slain men were Ralph Geiger, 56, of Akron; David Pauley, 51, of Norfolk, Va.; and Kern, of nearby Massillon. All were down-and-out men looking for a fresh start in life, prosecutors said during the trial. The survivor, Scott Davis, now 49, was looking for work so he could move from South Carolina closer to his family in northeast Ohio. Davis testified that he heard the click of a gun as he walked in front of Beasley at the reputed job site in Noble County. Davis, who was shot in an arm, knocked the weapon aside, hid in the woods for seven hours and tipped off police. “I was worried about bleeding to death,” Davis testified. Beasley took the stand himself at trial and told the court Davis had pulled a gun on him first in re- taliation for being a police informant in a motorcycle club investigation. But Beasley didn’t take the stand during the sentencing phase to appeal for mercy. His attorneys instead called his mother, a psychologist and a friend to press for leniency. Prosecutor Jonathan Baumoel said last week that Ohio reserves the death penalty for “the worst of the worst” and, as such, said Beasley deserves to be executed. The prosecutor said Rafferty wasn’t called to testify by the state because he wanted a sentence reduction, which prosecutors rejected. In closing arguments in Beasley’s sentencing phase, both sides highlighted Rafferty’s case: The defense said his life sentence should factor into the jury’s deliberations but prosecutors said it shouldn’t because the teen’s age ruled out the death penalty entirely. Beasley returned to Ohio from Texas in 2004 after serving several years in prison on a burglary conviction. Rafferty, who had a troubled family life, described Beasley as a friend and mentor. WASHINGTON (AP) — They mostly kept their distance, these supporters and opponents of gay marriage, as they massed Tuesday in front of the Supreme Court to proclaim with signs and slogans their conflicting views about the cutting-edge question before the justices. People who favor legalizing same-sex marriage carried pictures of gay weddings and families and held signs that read “marriage is a constitutional right.” They waved American and rainbow flags, and one man in devil horns danced in pink heels and a rainbow tutu. Opponents, meanwhile, marched down a roadway in front of the court, hoisting placards including “Every child deserves a mom & dad” and “Vote for holy matrimony.” By the time the court began its session, which on Tuesday dealt with California’s ban on same-sex marriage, the sidewalk outside was packed. Supporters spilled over to the other side of the roadway. “Gay, straight, black, white, marriage is a civil right,” the crowd chanted at one point, followed by “we honor this moment with love.” Many supporters of gay marriage came with homemade signs including ones that read “a more perfect union,” ”love is love,” and “‘I do!’ want 2 B (equals)” Some signs had pictures of gay couples. “Together 34 years,” read one, “married with pride,” said another. Gahan Kelley and Bonnie Nemeth, both 69, of Richmond, Va., had matching signs with their California marriage license on one side and a picture of their wedding ceremony on the other. The couple married in California during the 142 days when it was legal. “This decision can change our lives tremendously,” said Kelley of the Supreme Court cases. Nemeth said she was hopeful that the court would support gay marriage. “I really think we’re going to win,” she said. Another couple, Stacey Parker, 37, and Debbie Sentner, 43, drove from Toledo, Ohio, to Washington to demonstrate. The pair married in Massachusetts in 2009, but their home state doesn’t recognize their marriage. On Tuesday they carried signs that said “Tired of being a second class citizen” and “we the people means everyone.” 60398709 Court grounds packed on first day of marriage case �The Daily Sentinel Opinion Page 4 Wednesday, March 27, 2013 Raising minimum wage will Erikson’s ‘Golden Rule in the Light of New Insight’ revisited help businesses succeed Winslow Myers Margot Dorfman The migration of women from the workforce into business ownership is one of the great economic realizations of the American Dream. The U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce has grown to more than 500,000 members. Most of our members are small business owners. And we aren’t opposing an increase in the minimum wage – we’re supporting it. The number one problem I hear from my members is that the recovery is slow because sales are still weak. Let’s not forget that workers are customers too. Raising the minimum wage would put more money in the pockets of lowpaid workers who will turn right around and spend it at our local businesses buying necessities they can’t afford now. When the minimum wage goes up so do sales at the grocery store, the pharmacy, the repair shops and other local businesses. Consumer spending drives 70 percent of our economy, and we must repower consumer spending – backed by adequate wages rather than unaffordable debt – if we are going to repower our economy, create jobs and reverse the decline in our middle class. Raising the minimum wage boosts the economy from the bottom up, which is exactly what we need. Many of my members were once employees themselves. They know that the typical low-wage worker is an adult woman. Think of your waitress or cashiers at chain stores. Think of the childcare worker who takes care of your son or daughter, or the health aide who helps your mother or grandfather. Our members know that raising the minimum wage helps women workers and business owners succeed. Our members know that the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is too low. No one should be paid just $15,080 a year for full-time work. We support the Fair Minimum Wage Act that would gradually raise the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour over three years and then index it for inflation so that it doesn’t erode again. The minimum wage would be over $10 today if it had not fallen so far behind the rising cost of living over the last four decades. The Fair Minimum Wage Act would also raise the minimum wage for tipped workers from 50 percent of the regular minimum wage to 70 percent. Women business owners, who now own 30 percent of businesses nationwide, know that women are disproportionately affected by a low minimum wage. More than 17 million women would benefit from the proposed minimum wage increase to $10.10. It will make a crucial difference for hard working women and families in their struggle to make ends meet. There are two roads to profitability: the high road and the low road. Businesses can invest in their workforces with decent wages and benefits, and enjoy the benefits of a dedicated workforce with lower turnover, higher productivity and better customer service. Or businesses can pay poverty wages and churn through employees. These businesses may save on The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Our members have chosen the high road strategy for building their businesses: they pay better wages and their businesses benefit as a result. They know that this approach attracts more stable, dependable and productive employees. That’s not surprising since better wages enable workers to concentrate on their job without worrying about how they will put gas in their cars, pay for child care or keep up with their rent. In our experience, workers who get paid poverty wages work overwhelmingly for the big chains, not for Main Street businesses. In fact, low-paying big chains count on responsible employers and taxpayers to subsidize them by providing food stamps and other government assistance to their workers who can’t make ends meet on poverty wages. Raising the minimum wage would assure taxpayers that businesses are playing fair and compensating workers at responsible levels. Raising the minimum wage will help small businesses by putting more money in the pockets of our nation’s workers, which will boost spending and job creation on Main Street. And it will bring fairer pay to women, who hold the majority of the low-wage jobs that will see a raise. Margot Dorfman is CEO of the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce. Sixty years ago the psychoanalyst Erik Erikson gave a talk in India on the Golden Rule, a formulation that occurs, with some variation, in all the major religions. Judaism: “What is hateful to yourself, do not do to you fellow man.” Islam: “No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother what he desires for himself.” Christianity: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Erikson’s theme was the creative potential of mutuality—between spouses, parents and children, doctors and patients, teachers and pupils, even between nations. Mutuality, Erikson asserted, is a relationship in which partners depend upon each other for the enhancement of their respective strengths. The curiosity of a student elicits from the teacher the skills for transmitting the excitement of learning in a way that benefits both teacher and student. In the case of nations, fear of Hobbesian chaos if leaders relax their futile race toward military superiority makes it difficult to encourage mutuality. Ruthless power relations turn the lifegiving spirit of mutuality on its head: do not even think of trying to destroy me because if you do I will destroy you. This paranoia rationalizes the unabated manufacture of ever more destructive weaponry, irrespective of sensible policy goals, by ever more powerful corporations. As the vulgarism derived from the Golden Rule puts it, those with the gold make the rules. The ersatz American idea of mutuality (adore us, obey us, give us your oil) has often resulted in tragedy—or tragic farce, viz. Mr. Cheney asserting recently that given the chance to do it all over, he wouldn’t change a thing. Is there anything that we have learned about the context of international relations in the years since Erikson gave his talk that might make his paradigm of mutuality not only more relevant but also more realistic? Can the Golden Rule become more persuasive than gold? First, establishment strategists schooled in pitiless power politics like Henry Kissinger have come to the reluctant conclusion that nuclear weapons cannot serve as a useful tool for furthering anyone’s national interest. Kissinger’s boss Richard Nixon wanted to use them against North Vietnam, but was dissuaded lest other nuclear powers be drawn in. Fortunately we were mature enough to accept defeat rather than suicidal escalation, and that restraint has continued. It may be a sign Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

When American, Israeli and Iranian diplomats, or their proxies, sit down to talk, do they simply threaten each other? Or do they hypothesize together what will inevitably occur down the time-stream if they fail to establish the basic trust upon which mutuality can be built? Is it possible for them to help each other see the possibility of shared survival goals despite the chasm of divergent motives and stories? Can they acknowledge how other nations have already gone through the futile process of arming themselves to the point of being able to pound each other’s rubble, only to arrive, a few months before Erikson’s long-ago talk, at the Cuban Missile Crisis? Do they share with each other the reality that the detonation of only a few nuclear weapons has the potential to cause nuclear winter, endangering not just specific parties to conflict but the planet as a whole? The second basis for mutuality even between enemies, following upon the realization that anything else leads to nuclear extinction, is the model of mutuality found in nature, pressed upon us by all the ecological revelations and challenges that have arisen since Erikson spoke. Humans exist only through their mutual relationship with the air they breathe and the food they consume, with the sun that fuels photosynthesis, ocean currents, wind and rain. Mutuality, whether or not we decide to make it our conscious goal, is our essential condition. Finally, Erikson’s “common future identity”—after we understand that we are first of all a single species before we are Persian or Jew, Muslim or Christian—requires the acknowledgement of a further mutuality, the mutuality of earth-human relations. Our very survival, let alone our flourishing, depends upon cooperation to strengthen the living systems out of which we came—in order to strengthen ourselves. The Golden Rule, priceless beyond gold, calls us to swear on the lives of our grandchildren not only to treat our enemies as we would wish to be treated, but also the earth itself.

John Kasich wants to cut tax rates on incomes and small businesses, and his administration is open to suggestions from lawmakers about how to do it, the state’s budget director said Tuesday. Budget Director Tim Keen said in an interview with The Associated Press that based on discussions he’s had with legislative leaders, he believes the income tax cuts will remain in the budget. His comments come as the Republicancontrolled Ohio House is preparing its changes to Kasich’s $63.2 billion two-year state budget proposal. The first year of the two-year period begins July 1. Kasich, a Republican, campaigned in 2010 on a pledge to reduce Ohio’s income tax. With re-election just a year away, he would have to make that happen in the budget currently in the works. Kasich’s plan would lower the state’s income tax 20 percent over three years and reduce the tax rates on consumer sales and small businesses. He’s proposed doing so by raising the severance tax on large-scale oil and gas drilling and by applying sales taxes to a new list of services as varied as the services offered by lawyers, accountants, amusement parks and rock concerts. Republicans and the Ohio Chamber of Commerce have raised concerns about extending state sales taxes. Business leaders have argued the new sales taxes on their services will be burdensome to impose, unfairly double-tax them in plac- es and ultimately harm the bottom line. GOP Rep. Ron Amstutz, who chairs the House budget-writing committee, said last week that substantial changes are planned for Kasich’s tax overhaul proposals. He said he anticipates the House’s version will replace the governor’s proposed sales-tax expansion as a way of paying for the income tax cuts. House Speaker William Batchelder also has signaled that the House will remove Kasich’s proposed tax hike on drilling. Keen declined to give details about the discussions the administration has had with legislators on possible alternatives to achieving the statewide income-tax cuts. But “The idea is that if people have a different way to go about this, let’s have those conversations,” he said. Asked whether there was anything more the administration could say to persuade lawmakers to keep the severance tax increase in the budget, Keen said he wasn’t sure. The Kasich administration has said that the tax on large-volume oil and gas drillers is modest compared to the levies in other states, and it would help keep Ohio competitive. Still, the administration is not bracing for a budget that looks drastically different from the one it’s proposed, Keen said. “The discussion is really about how large of a tax cut and to what extent there should be tax reform elements included in this bill,” he said. Takeover From Page 1 the operation of the Rutland water-sewer system. According to the proposed contract between the village and the Commissioners, all administrative duties including billing and accounting for the entire Rutland system will be handled by Middleport employees for an annual fee of approximately $17,000, while payment for additional employees and related operational expenses relating to the system will be paid for by the Commissioners. The contract further gives the village an opportunity to opt out should taking over the system prove to be too much work or not financially beneficial to Middleport Village. As Baker stated during an earlier meeting “it has to be profitable for the village.” In other business Middleport Fire Jeff Darst met with Council to discuss the need for a new ladder truck, the cost, and the possibility of placing a levy on the fall ballot. After hearing Darst’s proposal Council voted unanimously to place a three mill levy on the ballot ” to let the public decide.” ( See tomorrow’s paper for details of Darst’s proposal to Council.) It was reported to Council that Mike Hendrickson, village building inspector, is putting together a list of abandoned properties in the village for possible demolition, along with a list of renters who may be destructive of properties they live in. That list is available to landlords who want to keep destructive renters out of their properties. Council again discussed the Hobson area where water lines have been laid but some residents do not have a tap. To encourage residents to hookup to the system, it was decided that they would be offered for a 90-day period the option of having a tap installed free. Once the meter is set, then billing to the residents would begin. It was emphasized that for those who do not sign up for the free tap within the 90 days period will lose the option of getting one free.

Some of the old names mentioned were flux, consumption, catarrh, teething, cholera infantum and blood poisoning. These often show up on old death records making it challenging to develop a health history of a family, it was reported. The president noted he had met with Middleport mayor, Michael Gerlach, to discuss the current incident of a four-wheeler in the Pioneer Cemetery. He is also going to be contacting the Sutton Township trustees again over the Harpold Cemetery. It was reported that the Ohio Genealogical Society convention will be held in Cincinnati April 25 - 27. It was announced some research done by the president that an early commander-in-chief of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS) came from Meigs County. The society was composed originally of commissioned Union officers of the Civil War. Samuel Fountain, who is found listed in the early Meigs County census, became the national head of genealogical society. However, the history of the organization says that Fountain was born in Parkersburg, W.Va., despite the fact that his birthplace is listed as Ohio in several censuses. The president of the genealogical society is currently the Ohio commander of MOLL US. It was noted that the Roush Family in America is proceeding with the acceptance of material for their upcoming Volume 5 history. It will include updates of the early books as well additions of new lines such as the Martin family of Pomeroy, the Trussell family of Bashan, and the entire Still family of Meigs County. The deadline for submission of material is August 1,2013. It was reported that the Pomeroy Library now has all the old Meigs County newspapers back to the 1850s digitized and available on computer. The computer has a search engine to locate specific names although it was pointed that in some instances the information is incomplete. 60386725 �The Daily Sentinel Sports WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 2013 mdssports@civitasmedia.com Mighty Big Ten has 4 standing with shot at Final 4 EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Big Ten has a nation-high four teams still in the NCAA tournament, bolstering its season-long boast that its conference is the best in college basketball. The Big Ten has combined to win 10 games so far, its best showing through the round of 32 — ever. And, it could get even better. An All-Big Ten Final Four is possible because top-seeded Indiana, second-seeded Ohio State, third-seeded Michigan State and fourth-seeded Michigan will compete this week in different regions. “The fact that there are four teams advancing shows that this conference prepares you for any type of team or game,” Hoosiers coach Tom Crean wrote in a text message Monday morning while preparing to play fourth-seeded Syracuse in the East Regional semifinals. “You develop possession by possession appreciation.” Indiana played grind-it-out, low-scoring games during the Big Ten — going 0-3 when held to fewer than 60 points — and had to rally late in some other games to win. The experiences paid off when the Hoosiers, who won the Big Ten regular season title, needed to close with a 10-0 run to beat ninth-seeded Temple 58-52 and get to the regional semifinals for the second straight year. Being in closely contested games also seemed to help the Big Ten tournament champion Buckeyes, who advanced to a school-record fourth consecutive round of 16 by making enough stops and shots to outlast 10thseeded Iowa State 78-75. “Playing 21 straight Big Ten games with the caliber of players, teams and coaches that we have in the conference does prepare you for anything,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “You face so many different styles from how teams defend ball screens to how they run their offenses. “I’m happy as heck for the conference, but we’re just trying to figure out how to get past Arizona.” Ohio State will face the sixthseeded Wildcats in the West Regional semifinals. Michigan State will be matched up with second-seeded Duke in the Midwest, a highly anticipated game featuring coaches who have combined to appear in 25 regional semifinals since 1998. Michigan, which has won two NCAA tournament games for the first time since 1994, will have to get past top-seeded Kansas in the South. The Big Ten had seven teams start the NCAA tournament last week and only fifth-seeded Wisconsin failed to advance, losing See SHOT ‌| 10 MSC pitcher of the week Kimber Hazlett pitches for the Red Storm in Rio Grande Ohio.

Hazlett named MSC Pitcher of the Week No NASCAR penalties issued after California race Randy Payton CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR won’t penalize Tony Stewart for scuffling with Joey Logano on pit road at California and saw nothing to indicate Logano or Denny Hamlin were trying to intentionally wreck each other as they raced for the win. In addition, NASCAR officials have given no thought to policing blocking, which is what Logano did to Stewart on the final restart to trigger the post-race confrontation. “There are no conversations internally inside of NASCAR to look at blocking as a violation or a penalty as some other forms of motorsports do,” Sprint Cup Series director John Darby said Tuesday. “As good as the racing has been, as exciting as it’s been, I don’t know that we need to jump in the middle and screw it up.” Stewart parked his car near Logano’s and angrily approached him after Sunday’s race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. There was some shoving, but crew members intervened before any punches landed. Logano threw a water bottle at Stewart. Darby said the incident didn’t escalate to a level where NASCAR had to take action. “A few years ago we backed away from micromanaging drivers’ emotions, you would hope in today’s world that if somebody didn’t win a race, they would be upset about it,” Darby said. “I don’t know that we’ve actually got a rule book that describes every push in the chest or See RACE |‌ 10 OVP Sports Schedule Wednesday, March 27 Baseball Ravenswood at Point Pleasant, 5:30 Tennis Point Pleasant at Spring Valley, 4 p.m. Thursday, March 28 Baseball Scott at Point Pleasant, 7 p.m. Charleston Catholic at Wahama, 5:30 Grace Christian at Hannan, 5:30 Softball Sissonville at Point Pleasant, 5:30 Track and Field Wahama at Ripley, 4:45 Hannan at Cabell Midland 4:30 Tennis Huntington at Point Pleasant, 4 p.m. Friday, March 29 Baseball Winfield at Point Pleasant, 7 p.m. Saturday, March 30 Baseball Gallia Academy, River Valley at Symmes Valley (DH) noon Eastern at Meigs (DH) noon Southern at South Webster (DH) noon South Gallia at Sciotoville East (DH) 11 a.m. Hannan at Cross Lanes Christian (DH) noon Softball Gallia Academy at Chesapeake (DH) 1 p.m. Eastern at Meigs (DH) noon River Valley at Symmes Valley (DH) noon Point Pleasant at Liberty (DH) noon South Gallia at Sciotoville East (DH) 11 a.m. Wahama at Wirt County (DH) noon Hannan at Cross Lanes Christian (DH) noon Track and Field Gallia Academy at Chillicothe, 10 p.m. Eastern at Warren, 10 a.m. River Valley at South Point, TBA Special to OVP LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Rio Grande’s Kimber Hazlett is the Mid-South Conference Pitcher of the Week and Campbellsville’s Emma Napier is the MSC Player of the Week, conference officials announced on Monday. The weekly conference award is Hazlett’s first of the season and the first of her career, while Napier earned her second honor of the season and of her career. Hazlett was nearly flawless during the RedStorm’s spring break trip in Myrtle Beach, S.C. last week to earn the conference’s top weekly pitching honor. The Utica, Ohio, freshman won six times while allowing just a single unearned run in 29 innings during the trip. Hazlett scattered 12 hits while striking out 36 batters in her six outings. She helped the RedStorm to a perfect 9-0 record last week. With her run, Hazlett lowered her ERA to 2.71 — 12th best in the Mid-South. She ranks fourth in the conference in strikeouts (67) and fifth in wins (7). Rio Grande improves to 11-6 this season with its perfect week. The RedStorm is 2-4 in the MSC. Napier had a massive week at the plate hitting .579 (11-for19) with five home runs - two of which were game-winners - to earn the conference’s player of the week honor. The Scottsville, Ky., senior shortstop hit safely in all six Campbellsville games - all wins including four multiple hit games. Napier provided the game-winning home runs in 2-1 wins over Mid-South foes Georgetown and UVa.-Wise. She finished the week scoring nine times and driving in seven runs. Napier added two stolen bases and a 1.368 slugging percentage. Napier leads the Mid-South with 46 hits and tied for the conference lead with 12 home runs. She ranks second in the conference with in batting average (.500), slugging percentage (1.022) and runs (33). Campbellsville - who is receiving votes in the national poll - improves to is 20-8 overall and leads the Mid-South with a 10-0 record. Wild West Region full of unexpected twists John Marshall The Associated Press Arizona and Ohio State reaching the West Region’s semifinals was not much of a surprise. Both are loaded with talent, have great coaches and were relatively high seeds. The rest of the West was a mess, at least in terms of trying to put together a bracket. New Mexico, Kansas State and Mississippi, seed Nos. 3-5, didn’t get past their first games. Top-seeded Gonzaga struggled in its first game, lost its second. La Salle had to win a play-in game, then knocked off two teams with better seeds. Of the 12 games in the region, seven were won by teams with the worst seed, by far the most of the NCAA tournament’s four regions. The West has indeed been wild, so, in a way, it seems fitting that Wichita State and La Salle would play in the nightcap of the regional semifinals Thursday night at Staples Center in Los Angeles. “It’s not parity. Everyone’s good,” La Salle coach John Giannini said. “Maybe no one is great the way Jordan, Perkins and Worthy were, Patrick Ewing’s teams, but everybody is good.” It’s a hard point to argue. Gonzaga came into the NCAA tournament as the nation’s hottest team, ranked No. 1 the final two weeks of the regular season and one of four No. 1 seeds in the field of 68. The Zags labored in their opener before pulling away from Southern University to avoid becoming the first No. 1 seed to lose to a No. 16. Instead, Gonzaga became the first top seed to go down in this year’s tournament, knocked out by the somewhat shocking Shockers of Wichita State. “I lost it a little bit, just the instant reaction and realizing this was the finish,” Gonzaga senior Mike Hart said after the 76-70 loss. “That’s the brutality of the NCAA tournament, how great it can be and how quickly it can all end.” That was certainly the case in the wild West. No. 14 seed Harvard blew up brackets everywhere with a Revenge of the Nerds-type victory over No. 3 New Mexico, a favorite dark horse pick to reach the Final Four. Wisconsin was unable to build off its Big Ten tournament championship, bounced out of the tournament by Mississippi and its mouthy guard Marshall Henderson. La Salle didn’t even get its own seeding; the Explorers had to share it with Boise State, earning the spot by beating the Broncos in the First Four. La Salle followed that up by taking out No. 4 Kansas State and made it three wins in five days by bringing down Henderson and the Rebels. Wichita State pulled off a mild upset in its opening game by rolling over No. 8 seed Pittsburgh, then took down a tournament titan, rallying from an eight-point second-half deficit to beat Gonzaga. “The way that West bracket’s shook down, they’ve got a great chance of winning a couple more games,” Kansas coach Bill Self said of the neighboring Shockers. “It will be interesting.” The next chapter in this what’sgoing-to-happen-next tale comes Thursday night, when Wichita State and La Salle meet in a semifinal for the little guys. La Salle got into the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1992 and hasn’t been this far in the bracket in five decades, before there was a round of 16. With their three wins so far, the Explorers have won more NCAA tournament games in a week than in the previous 58 years combined. Wichita State has had a bit more recent success, winning 109 games the past four seasons, including an NIT title and consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament. Even with their success, the Shockers still don’t make much of a blip on the radar, playing under the shadow of Kansas and Kansas State in their own state and being overshadowed by Creighton and All-American forward Doug McDermott in the Missouri Valley Conference most of this season. The winner Thursday night in the underdog half of the bracket will get a shot at even bigger glory. “You keep winning, you’ll get notoriety,” Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said. Oh, by the way, the other side of the West bracket features one of the best matchups so far in the NCAA tournament. Ohio State, the West’s No. 2 seed, went to the Final Four last season, has one of the country’s best coaches in Thad Matta and do-everything guard Aaron Craft, who plays defense like a pit bull and hit a lastsecond 3-pointer against Iowa State to get the Buckeyes to LA. Arizona appears to be all the way back from its brief fall from grace after the retirement of Lute Olson thanks to Sean Miller, a top-of-theclass recruiter who’s just as good at managing a game. The sixth-seeded Wildcats have a young, deep frontcourt, a pair of big-play guards in Mark Lyons and Nick Johnson, and rolled through their opening two games in the tournament. “We’re waiting for you in LA,” Miller told Matta, one of his closest friends in coaching, in a text after both teams won over the weekend. So are the Shockers and Explorers, setting up what’s sure to be another wild week in the West. �60402859 copal Church; thence east 200 above action, Keith O.

(AP) — Morgantown will be getting a minor-league baseball team. The Class A New York-Penn League announced Tuesday it plans to relocate an undisclosed franchise to Morgantown in 2015. The league plays a 76-game season from mid-June through early September. League president Ben Hayes said that “by adding the vibrant northern West Virginia regional community and a top-notch facility that it would share with West Virginia University, we know the New York-Penn League will continue to reach new levels of success.” Hayes said the unnamed Morgantown team would share a new venue with the West Virginia University baseball team. Monongalia County wants to levy a special tax to raise $16 million for a yet-to-bebuilt ballpark. An additional $12 million would improve infrastructure around the site and a nearby shopping center in Morgantown. The county first must receive permission from the state Legislature. A bill was passed by the state Senate this month and is now before the House Judiciary Committee. “Both college and minor league baseball fans are hoping that we will soon be able to celebrate (the bill’s) approval and hear the three best words in the English language — ‘let’s play ball,” said WVU athletic director Oliver Luck. Developers have said the ballpark could be completed by next February. Luck has said the stadium also could also host youth baseball events and concerts. It would be the fourth minor-league base- It was a good evening for the South Gallia basketball programs Monday night, as the duo of Brayden Greer and Jasmyne Johnson each came away with the threepoint championship titles at the 2013 District 13 Basketball Coaches Association all-star game at Jackson High School. Greer, a sophomore, and Johnson, a senior, combined to hit 11-of-20 trifectas in their respective victories while beating out 16 other contestants.

Nike’s Tiger Woods ad draws critics NEW YORK (AP) — Maybe winning doesn’t take care of everything. Nike is causing a social media storm with its latest online ad showing a picture of Tiger Woods overlaid with a quote from him, “Winning takes care of everything.” Woods has used the phrase with reporters since at least 2009 when they ask him about rankings. The ad, posted on Facebook and Twitter, is supposed to allude to the fact that the golfer recovered from career stumbles to regain his world No. 1 ranking on Monday, which he lost in October 2010. But some say it’s inappropriate in light of Woods’ past marital woes. It’s the latest controversy for Nike, which has recently had to cut ties with disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong and sprinter Oscar Pistorius because of separate scandals.

This process might be challenging at times, but your self-discipline will strengthen and you’ll learn patience as a result. If you are single, the world is your oyster. You will meet the right person when you least expect it. If you are attached, the two of you will learn ways that allow both of you to be right. LIBRA has the same issues you do, but he or she makes different choices. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You have your hands full juggling different issues. Everyone has an opinion, and you seem to be the person who offers stability. Your resourcefulness finds ways to come to an agreement with which nearly everyone is content. Tonight: Don’t lose your temper — take a walk instead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You have a lot of ground to cover. Pressure builds, which creates more back-and-forth between you and someone else. You can’t sit on your anger much longer, as it is likely to emerge, no matter what you do. Don’t allow others’ pressure to faze you. Tonight: Relax at home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could feel pulled in two different directions. Your awareness of the different possibilities will help you decide. You might not get others’ support for a decision, but follow through on it anyway — you know what is best for you. Tonight: Spice up your life. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HH You are likely to feel the impact of today’s Full Moon. Lie low if you can, as it will be more aggravating if you are out dealing with others. A loved one decides that it’s his or her way or the highway. Know when to pull back and not get involved in a power struggle. Tonight: At home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You could feel unusually pressured by people seeking you out left and right. You might encounter the unexpected with a loved one. A partner suddenly could veer in a new direction. Avoid someone in your dayto-day life who often challenges you. Tonight: Talk up a storm. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Your spending could spiral out of control without self-discipline. Certain items might be too hard to pass up. Your creativity will emerge as you try to find a different way to get what you want without breaking the bank. Your fiery side emerges with a partner. Tonight: Plan on taking it easy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You are full of energy, and seem to be the least affected by the Full Moon. Your ability to step in and make a situation work comes to the forefront. Unusual news from someone at a distance could have you pondering different possibilities. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HH Much is going on behind the scenes. Every time you go off and try to do something, it seems as if you hit some kind of complication. Don’t push to have your way. Do what you feel is necessary, and only that. You laugh, and someone will lighten up. Tonight: Off on your own. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You see the value in nearly every suggestion or idea. The problem is deciding which one to choose when there is so much focus on whose idea is right. Figure out what you want rather than what is most popular. Everything will work out. Tonight: Where friends are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Keep reaching out to someone you care about, even though this person often creates tension. A situation might force you to take the lead. Keep smiling and remain upbeat. You could be surprised by what is going on behind the scenes. Tonight: Could go late. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might want to detach, as it could be difficult to come to an agreement with someone who is determined to be right. Let different opinions come forward without taking any of them personally; otherwise, communication could take on a negative tone. Tonight: At a favorite spot. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Deal with someone’s need to be in control. A power play is best left alone. On a superficial level, this person might win. On a deeper level, however, victory will be yours. A friend suddenly could reverse direction or do something differently. Tonight: Be a team.

(AP) — The University at Buffalo has hired Bobby Hurley to take over as its men’s basketball coach. Hurley, who was introduced at a news conference Tuesday, completed his first season as an associate coach at Rhode Island this month, working under his brother, Dan Hurley. He spent the previous two seasons as an assistant at Wagner, also with Dan serving as head coach. At Buffalo, he takes over for Reggie Witherspoon, who was fired two weeks ago after 14 seasons on the job. Witherspoon went 4-20 this past season. Hurley, a superstar high school guard while playing for his father, Bob, Sr., in New Jersey in the 1980s, is best known for his playing days at Duke, where he established himself as one of the nation’s top alltime point guards. He led the Blue Devils to three Final Four berths, including 1992, when he was named most outstanding player. “The appointment of coach Hurley sends a clear statement that the University at Buffalo is committed to bringing big-time college athletics to the western New York community and the state at large,” athletic director Danny White said. “I’m confident after our discussions that he is the right leader to take our program to the next level.” Hurley’s ties to Duke played a factor with White. His father, Kevin White, is the AD at Duke. Racine co-ed softball tournament RACINE, Ohio — There will be a co-ed softball tournament at Star Mill Park on Saturday, March 30, to help raise money for uniforms, equipment and tournament entry fees for the Racine Little League team.

Applications must be submitted by May 1 for consideration. Race From Page 6 kick in the shin. If two guys get into a helluva fight, we’re going to have to react. But a couple of guys blowing off some steam and slapping at the air is not going to get anybody in a whole lot of trouble.” As for the last-lap crash between Logano and Hamlin, Darby said NASCAR viewed it as a racing incident. The two former teammates have feuded since the closing laps of the season-opening Daytona 500 and it escalated after contact from Hamlin sent Logano spinning into the wall two races ago at Bristol. Logano an- grily confronted Hamlin after the race before being pulled away by crew members. The two moved their feud to Twitter for at least the second time this season and then came Sunday’s race. They were racing side-by-side on the last lap for the win when they banged into each other. Both cars spun and Hamlin’s hit head-on into an inside wall not protected with energy-absorbing SAFER barriers. He spent Sunday night in a Southern California hospital, where he was diagnosed with an L1 compression fracture in his lower back. He was back in North Carolina on Tuesday, scheduled to be evaluated later this week by Dr. Jerry Petty of Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates. “It was the last lap of the race, and the last time they were both going to see turns three and four. They were side-by-side. If somebody was of the mindset to retaliate, they probably would have been lined up nose-totail and somebody would have drove into the other car and spun him around,” Darby said. “In this case, that is so far from the opposite, that it never even crossed anybody’s mind that I’m aware of that paid attention to the race.” Meanwhile, NASCAR is still going over data from Hamlin’s ac- cident and will need to meet with officials from the University of Nebraska, home to the engineering school’s Midwest Roadside Safety experts, and IndyCar before making any recommendations on whether a SAFER barrier should be installed where Hamlin hit. When NASCAR first began installing SAFER barriers following the 2001 death of Dale Earnhardt, the priority were locations where cars frequently hit the wall. Officials at Nebraska also make recommendations not to install the barriers at certain points at a facility because of various issues, including the potential for a car to sling-shot back into traffic after impact. Track officials usually follow the recommendations. Tom Gideon, senior director of safety research and development at NASCAR, said where Hamlin hit was not an area that cars frequently make impact. “Each point on the track we look at the application and you don’t want to put (barriers) in places where the angle of impact may not be appropriate for a SAFER barrier,” Gideon said. “We also look at the possibility of impact and the frequency of impact, and when you look at the frequency of impact, especially at oval tracks, it’s reasonable to think they are going to be with outside walls.” Shot From Page 6 by 11 points to 12th-seeded Mississippi. Minnesota routed UCLA by 20 — though that didn’t help Tubby Smith keep his job because he was fired Monday, a day after losing by 14 to Florida. Illinois beat Colorado before losing a competitive game with second-seeded Miami. The Golden Gophers and Fighting Illini helped to help the conference win 10 games, a total that trails the Big East’s record of 11 wins through the round of 32 in 2009 and 2012, ac- cording to STATS. The Big Ten had won nine games four times up to this point of the NCAA tournament, including last season, when it also sent four teams to the regional semifinals. Spartans coach Tom Izzo started saying the conference was the best in the country before the season opened and he felt even stronger about his opinion throughout the nonconference schedule when his team had one of the league’s marquee wins by beating Kansas. Even though the Big Ten has one more team than the Big East still in the NCAA tournament — and twice as many as the ACC and Pac-12 — Izzo insisted he doesn’t feel as if his point has been proven. “To some, it won’t be validated unless the Big Ten wins a championship,” Izzo said. “Perception becomes a little bit of reality and the more games you win, the farther you go. I think we earned our keep, again, over the 18 grueling games and that Big Ten Tournament. “Now this is frosting on the cake. “ Michigan State and Michigan won their first two games relatively easily, putting the rivals in the same round of 16 for the first time. Izzo, who has said it is “illegal” to like the Wolverines, acknowledged he is pulling for the maize and blue and the rest of the Big Ten during the NCAA tournament Michigan coach John Beilein said he surprised himself by cheering for another rival, the Buckeyes, in their tight game with the Cyclones. “During the season, I do not root for other schools in the Big Ten,” Beilein told The AP. “But I found myself rooting for the Big Ten this past weekend, hoping Aaron Craft would make a free throw or a 3-pointer, because there’s an appreciation for the competition we have within our conference.” The Big Ten hasn’t had a national champion in men’s basketball since the Spartans won it all in 2000, a title that ended an 11-year drought after Michigan cut down the nets in 1989. Before that, the Bobby Knight-led Hoosiers won national titles in 1987, 1981 and 1976 and Magic Johnson helped Michigan State beat Indiana State — with Larry Bird — in 1979 in a transcendent game. Matta said the Big Ten is due for a title, telling reporters in Dayton, Ohio, it is “highly likely,” a team from the conference will win the national championship. “There’s a very, very good chance of it,” he said. “The one thing about the Big Ten this year is you’ve got great players. Obviously, you’ve got great coaches. “It will be interesting to see how it plays out.” mydailytribune.com mydailyregister.com mydailysentinel.com Gallipolis Tribune Daily Sentinel 214 Upper River Rd, Gallipolis, OH 740-446-7891 Mon-Thurs 11am-12am Fri-Sat 11am-2am Sun 11am-12am Point Pleasant Register 60402356 60402403 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
